Around the Horn (7/22)

[General]

Slyder, go.

[Slyder]

3 games.... a team losses 3 games in a row and we are starting to think theyve lost the luster? This three game losing streak appears to be about over as they are beating Boston by 8-2 as ghetto said, this is also the third or fourth time that they have lost 3 games in a row. Teams will go through bad spirts regardless of who they are. Theres no reason for Chicago to be worried that the luck has turned sour.

Good teams worry about the bumps in the road. Playoff teams dont lose their cool during the bumps.

[General]

Amen to that. They still are the winningest team in baseball. Point to slyder.


Last question:

Remake or leave alone? With all the remakes of classic sports movies like the Longest Yard and Bad News Bears being the trend in sports movies, is this the future? It certainly seems so. Guys...remakes of classics: good or bad? Ghetto, go.

Classics are classics. You can't recreate them. You can't compare Walter Matthau to Billy Bob Thorton, who by the way has a phobia of antiques. Lock em up and let em be, if you remake a classic then you're just bringing down the quality

[Slyder]

I say leave them alone.

I havent seen many of the new remakes but from what I have heard the Longest Yard was good, but I have heard a lot of people say the remakes are terrible when compared to the classics. I gotta say its bad because a new generation is seeing this and the old ones will lose their place in history, if you want to see good movies go back to the classics. Hollywood has run out of good ideas so they are hoping to hit it big with old ones.

[General]

I agree with both of you...however, you gotta give me some substance to go along with the style..

The winner of today's show is...






...wait for it...





























Slyder!

[General]

This post goes out to Cincinnati Reds General Manager Dan O'Brien...

Please do not be stupid and quit yanking around our young core like its your pet poodle. TRADE the vets for pieces to help the youth win, dont hang on to them to try and prove that your not an idiot, thats well been establish. Trade guys like Randa, Aurilia, Casey if you get the chance and give guys like Rey Olemado, like Edwin Encarcion a chance to meld with what is here already. And oh ya sign Dunn Long term PLEASE.

And oh yes thank you Porter and General for putting this all together. Great Job on a Great Idea.
